Steps:

• Saute onions, green bell peppers, and garlic in a small amount of vegetable oil. Add chicken, taco seasoning mix, salsa, vegetables, beans, tomato paste, and chicken broth. Adjust liquid to your liking. Bring to a slow simmer and simmer for 20 minutes. Place cream cheese in a separate bowl.

Steps:

• For the soup: Put the chicken thigh pieces in a bowl and add the seasoning mix, along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
• Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pot or Dutch oven. When the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs and brown on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes, then remove to a plate.
• Next, add the garlic, bell peppers and onion to the pot and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are softened, 3 to 4 minutes more. Stir in the tomato paste, coating the vegetables. Add the browned chicken, chicken stock, hot water, tomatoes and green chiles, green chiles, chipotles and adobo sauce. Stir in the black beans and bring to a boil.
• Mix the masa harina with 1/2 cup of water and add to the soup. Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes; the soup will thicken ever so slightly. Add the lime juice and taste, then adjust the seasoning as needed.
• For serving: Stir in most of the tortillas just before serving.
• Serve, topped with the remaining sliced tortillas, scallions, sour cream, pico de gallo and queso fresco.

Steps:

• Cut the corn kernels off the cobs and transfer to a small bowl. Run the back of your knife down the cobs to scrape any corn milk into the bowl (it will help thicken the soup). Set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the poblano, onion, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; cook, stirring, until the vegetables are browned in spots, about 6 minutes. Add the corn kernels and their milk. Stir in the chili powder and cook until toasted, about 1 minute. Stir in the chicken broth, 3 cups water, the tomatoes, hominy, chicken, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover and bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the broth is slightly reduced and the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Ladle the soup into bowls. Top with the chips and scallions.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Crumble in the chorizo and cook, stirring, until no longer pink, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the scallion whites and cook until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Spread the chorizo evenly in the bottom of the skillet and pour the egg mixture on top. Top with the cheese and bake until the eggs are browned around the edges and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 12 to 14 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the lettuce, radishes, scallion greens and cilantro in a large bowl. Drizzle with the lime juice and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil; season with salt and pepper and toss. Slide the frittata onto a cutting board; sprinkle with cilantro. Slice into wedges and serve with the salsa and the salad.
